THEORY: Who Is Ash Ketchum's Father? 11/28/14

Okay, so we ALL know who Ash Ketchum is... because if you do not, please leave this blog... xD! And we know Ash Ketchum's Mother, Delia Ketchum. But who is Ash's father? Could it be Professor Oak? Or how about the man we see petting a Rapidash while Ash goes crazy in the side... or maybe even Silver? What about Giovanni... or Red. Today I explain why each of the men stated earlier could and couldn't be Ash's father... get ready... Professor Oak Okay, so Professor Oak is always with Ash's Mom... so if they weren't married, this would just be weird. xD Also, in the first Pokemon Episode, Ash wakes up late and there are no more Starter Pokemon left, but Oak gives Ash Pikachu. I don't think a stranger would do that for someone unless that was his kid. But the only thing I can find about why this might not be true is because, according to Bulbapedia.com , Delia and Oak are 21 years apart from eachother... but that doesn't mean much. Man Petting A Rapidash So, in this picture: Ash is going crazy while a man pets a Rapidash... could this guy be Ash's father... the guy in the picture also looks like Molly Hale's father... from the third Pokemon Movie... if this theory is true, this means Ash also has a sister... The only problem with this theory is that Ash is revealed to be an only child... so that means Rapidash man is not Ash's Father... Silver Could Ash's Father be Silver from the Pokemon Anime? Well, his best friend, Chikorita rides on his shoulder without a poke ball like Ash's Pikachu. Also, Silver was inspired after seeing a Legendary, like Ash... but the only problem is that Silver is from the Johto Region... unless he moved after him and Delia had Ash... Giovanni The head of team Rocket couldn't possibly be Ash Ketchum's father... but he has more evidence than all of the past men. In this photo, you see a man on the wall who looks similar to both a young Giovanni and a Young Silver... It is mentioned Ash's father left on a Pokemon Journey but never came back... maybe because he joined Team Rocket? She also says his father got to Viridian City in four days... and Giovanni is the Gym Leader of the Viridian City Gym. In the Performance, Pokémon Live! stage musical where he is played by Darren Dunstan. In the latter, it is stated that he and Delia Ketchum were possibly romantically involved as teenagers (implying that Giovanni may be Ash's biological father), and she never told Ash as she feared he would misunderstand. However, the musical is not considered canon. The only reason why this couldn't work is because it took more than ten years to become the leader of Team Rocket... and Ash is ten years old... Red So, Red is a big possibility. Red has a Pikachu, and so does Ash... and Red could've told Oak to keep Pikachu until Ash is eligible to become a Pokemon Trainer. Also, this could mean Red and Blue (which could be Gary's father and Oak's son) could've had sons. Because they were close... their kids had play-dates a lot and became rivals... And Red could've told Brock and Misty to watch over his son as he went on his journey. Why this may not be is because, Ash used to travel with Brock and Misty... and Red knew them... so they should be old.... but they weren't in the anime... In my opinion, we will never know who Ash's father is... but I think it is The Rapidash Man- I hope one day Ash will meet him again... Catcha Later! ~Theory the Caterpie
